Be Somebody

Hamlet

At our first meetingI thought you were just a stupid kid,With impossible ambitions andA sleazy attitude.But I saw something else in your eyes.I saw the ghost of a dead man,Hovering over you,Whispering for you to do betterThan he ever did.I saw the whispers corrupt your mind,And people died, so you exorcised him.Finally you were free,But you were dead.
